Swilo posted:Something tells me there's no recovery mechanism for this on board, like a giant crane. Is there even anything they could do to stop it once it begins? There are giant cranes on most container ships. But ask yourself if you can see a ship on an incredibly tight and micromanaged schedule turning around and attempting recovery on 0.01% of its cargo in heavy seas. Recovery of humans in heavy seas is a dangerous evolution; try and picture how safe rigging the crane to one of those bobbing 40' containers is, and then bringing it into the ship and lashing it back down, possibly with damaged cleats. If that poo poo falls off the ship, they wave it goodbye and keep on trucking.

Yeah, not a good thing to encourage. Cats like nesting in amongst the nice warm hiding places. My cat (now named Piston) managed to survive a ten mile ride as a kitten, but yours may not.

Platystemon posted:They usually don’t prosecute gun smiths for making a prototype and asking “hey ATF what do you think about this mechanism?”, but technically if they don’t like it, you just handed them Exhibits A, B, and C in a case for manufacture of a machine gun. It's one of those areas where if you're unsure of the answer, you get licensed first, mostly because "we generally are cool with it" isn't a guarantee that the answer this month won't be "Daddy's about to make his quota." The law doesn't care about ignorance, novelty, prototype status or most other mitigating factors. You manufactured a machine gun, and then transported it across state lines without ATF approval. That's two separate charges, half a mil in fines, and 10+ years in jail that you just confessed to via registered mail. Potato Salad posted:I remember getting into "but actually" fights with libertarians and I bet that's why the law and policy preferences around small arms are nightmarishly complex It's kinda like the Pornography definition that judge came up with, "I know it when I see it". If you aren't banning it outright. no matter how nitpicky or specific you end up becoming, a whole bunch of nerds are going to find edge cases and proceed to build stuff there. The Atkins Accelerator, those weird crank driven 10/22 Gatling guns, bump stocks, and things like this short barreled not-a-firearm. You can't go "lookit here assholes, one pull, one bang, at least 26 inches long, and anything that makes the bang quieter is a no-go" without 12 pages of definitions, specific examples, and additional clarifying language.

Here is a fun home renovation tale involving our friend asbestos. https://imgur.io/a/Mz7UBhX That’s right, removing the old vinyl, finding mystery tiles under those, then grinding them out of the way with just a shop vac for air handling.  BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:Wow. Usually the airbag handles that by pushing you away at just the right speed but that sounds awful. She did managed to get a “thumbs up” shaped bruise on her chest from where she hit her own hand. Serjeant Snubbin fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Dec 7, 2022 |

My house is right around the age where asbestos was in everything. I put new flooring on top of the old stuff, but I should really send some away for analysis. Same goes for the popcorn ceiling. We noticed when we were painting over it that it had a type of glitter embedded in it.

Recovery of humans in heavy seas is a dangerous evolution; try and picture how safe rigging the crane to one of those bobbing 40' containers is, and then bringing it into the ship and lashing it back down, possibly with damaged cleats. Just couple of weeks ago a Finnish solo sailing racer's boat started flooding and sank in five minutes, 830 km SW of South Africa, in the middle of night. Luckily the sailor managed to take a grab bag and get into life raft and send a distress signal, and after one day on a raft he was picked up by a fellow racer. He woke up as the boat started to take water so there's no certainty, but he must have hit something big. Possibly a drifting container.

Had a neighbor many years ago fall and break a leg because they poured boiling water on their steps to melt the snow and ice. While it melted some of it, it then turned the rest into a basically frictionless surface.

It's possible that, when really hot water runs down the glass & through the sill it hits the mechanism & it fails at the casting, same as the glass. Because it's cheap cast pot-metal.

Cat Hatter posted:It seems like it would've been more cost effective to bus people to one of the many bodies of water* available to Detroit citizens, but I guess that's more cumbersome to parents and puts a lot more responsibility on the people bussing people/water around. Overpasses on the way to popular beaches in New York were intentionally built too low for buses to pass, to keep minorities out

Nenonen posted:Depends? The ones I've seen broken have crumbled really well into small pieces. Windscreens are much stronger than side and rear windows. Side windows are made of tempered glass (which is quite strong, but falls to pieces if it gets cracked or even scratched). Windshields used to be made of the same stuff; when I was a kid, our family car's windshield once got struck by a pebble and instantly disintegrated. Nowadays windshields are made of a laminate of untempered glass and plastic film; in case of an impact the plastic prevents glass shards from flying around, and you can still see through the undamaged part of the window.

Years ago I was pulling a vehicle out of a heated garage on a really cold day (well below -10F degrees) and the thermal shock made the driver's side window shatter. It sounded like someone shooting off a pistol right next to my head. Was not even remotely prepared for it.

I love the technical changes over the weapon’s history he gets into - like the 20 different Lee Enfields he’s done videos about.

C&Rsenal does the WWI gun deep dives, like over an hour long and sometimes multi part on a single family of guns from the war.
